I experimented a LOT with recording drums using two mics way back in my Tascam 4-track days 
. I was using much crappier mics than you have too, and it still ended up sounding not too bad.
I used one mic as an overhead, directly centered over the kit, pointing down into the middle of it. The sounds picked up by that mic are the higher-end stuff, lots of cymbals and snare and the attack of the toms. The other mic is mostly for picking up toms and kick; it's placed a few feet in front of the kit, off-center, a few inches off the ground, aimed upwards towards the middle of the toms. If you have an odd number of toms you might not want to aim directly at the center tom, just lean toward the higher toms. Mixed together these two mics created a good full-sounding representation of the entire kit. I still have a cassette tape of the stuff I recorded this way, and I'm still really proud of it as an example of doing the most you possibly can with what you've got. I should mp3 that stuff.
